LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe inside a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get better. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of an issue that could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
